Therapists in Spuyten Duyvil, NY

After years as a performing artist and opera singer, I recognized that creativity, play, and being known are integral to our sense of well-being. I discovered my passion for supporting people through creativity and talk therapy to pursue fulfilling and meaningful lives. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment to process your experiences and identify your strengths and values. I work with adolescents through late adulthood with a wide range of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related, OCD, neurodivergent, and personality disorders.

Accepting new clients. Life seldom follows the path that we envision. Sometimes it flows so swiftly, with drastic turns and shifts that we fail to take the time to care for ourselves, which can lead to further damage physically and emotionally.

The Healing Journey of Self Fulfillment often requires aligning the mind, body and spirit.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Footprints began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

It is my ethical responsibility to provide you with the care that best suits your needs.

Therapy is a great first step to improving one’s quality of life. Although we understand it’s benefit it can also be intimidating. Therapy isn’t about ‘fixing’ an individual, instead the focus is on empowerment and utilizing the skills the person possesses while developing other skills which may help support and maintain change. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance can assist anyone with facilitating the change they are seeking by developing a structure of exploration that alleviates the angst that comes with creating change in one’s life.

Life has its way of sending us on paths that we’ve never actually intended to be on. Have you ever put an address in your GPS and while you’re driving, it starts saying, “Rerouting”? It’s sort of like living life with a plan (or even without one) and the unexpected sends you for a tailspin. Welcome to this thing we call ‘life.’ Especially during these days. *sigh and group hug*

How does one belong and feel connected to others without giving up their true selves? How does one find one's place and purpose in this world? How does one take their most cherished values and use them to find more meaning and fulfillment in their lives? These questions emerge at different points in one's lifetime and can easily be drowned out by life's events (ex. breakups, school issues, life transitions, trauma). I help pre-teens, teens, young adults and full-fledged adults with these questions. I'm a seasoned mental health therapist who has worked in variety of hospital, community mental health and school health settings.
